/ Windows 7’s new “Get Windows 10” app

When I logged on to my Windows 7 computer this afternoon, I noticed this little gem down by my clock. It’s the new “Get Windows 10” app that must have come with the last batch of Windows updates. I created a gallery of screenshots of what to expect. All it does is reserve your upgrade, which you can cancel any time. Once Windows 10 is released, it will download it and let you install it at your leisure.

August will be an interesting month for IT people!
